It\u2019s a room currently used each night by tutors and any boy seeking assistance and a meeting place for board games and cards. It\u2019s a small stately room which has been part of School House for many years. A kind of smaller version of a \u201cSmoking Room\u201d without the smoke, crustiness, pompous old men, pipes and smoking jackets.<\/p>\n<p>During the second stage of the School House renovation last Christmas, the Minnett room received a very timely and tasteful facelift. The historical charm was retained and one could say added too. Two large book shelves once flanked either side of a low standing cupboard. Now these have been skilfully crafted into two display cabinets and in lies some terrific School House history.<\/p>\n<p>Items include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bow Flag \u2013 1<sup>st<\/sup> IV 1945 \u201cMade up out of hat bands for the crew by Mrs Lengren, seamstress in School House during the war years\u201d Names on Flag: P.Libers, P Tutin, E.Thorton, D Freeman &amp; J Ronald.<\/li>\n<li>Playing Chess Minnett Room 1940 \u2013 L to R: Russell Stinson, George Edwards, Peter Bateman, E John Merewether &amp; Ian Ronald Osbourne.<\/li>\n<li>Slate &amp; Slate roofing nails from the original SL roof \u2013 This was my contribution during the replacement of the roof last Christmas. I \u201cBorrowed\u201d a couple from the builder\u2019s bins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0I would like to thank Tanya Hill, the Shore Archives Assistant, who has done a fantastic job in locating and displaying relevant items of School House history.<\/p>\n<p>It took about two weeks before any boys noticed. Boys being boys I thought two weeks was pretty good \u2026. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<p>Darren Junee<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4279\"
